Notes
[buster] - bluez <ignored> (Minor issue, invasive fix, workaround present in buster's gnome-bluetooth)
[stretch] - bluez <ignored> (Minor issue, does not affect Gnome Bluetooth in stretch)
[jessie] - bluez <no-dsa> (Minor issue because in gnome-bluetooth <= 3.26 the D-Bus calls were synchronous and thus the issue in bluez will have no actual affect)

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1602985
Bug in src:bluez itself and would need fixing there, but it is workaroundable in
gnome-bluetooth: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-bluetooth/commit/6b5086d42ea64d46277f3c93b43984f331d12f89
workaround in gnome-bluetooth landed in 3.28.2, BlueZ fixed in 5.51
[wheezy] - bluez <no-dsa> (Minor issue, mitigated in gnome-bluetooth <= 3.26)
